novamin, a synthetic mineral composed of calcium, sodium, phosphorous and silica releases deposits of crystalline hydroxyl-carbonate apatite (hca) structurally similar to tooth mineral composition. the aim of this investigation was to compare the potential remineralization effect of topical novamin and sodium fluoride gel on caries like lesions in permanent teeth.a total of 60 sound human fresh...

context food spoilage has been a common problem throughout history, and much of the spoilage is caused the activity of microorganisms or enzymatic reactions during the storage of food. thus, using chemical substances could prevent or delay food spoilage and this has led to the great success of these compounds in the treatment of human diseases. sodium benzoate is one of the synthetic additives ...

to investigate the influence of salinity and calcium (ca) on some properties of plantago ovata, a pot factorialexperiment based on randomized complete block design with three replicates was conducted in jiroft, south of kermanprovince, iran. three salinity levels of 0, 100 and 200 mm nacl and ca levels of 0, 5 and 10 mm calcium nitrate wereapplied as the first and second factors, respectively. ...

a major portion of the iranian fig (ficus carica) industry is located in high-salinity regions, and salinity is an important limiting factor in the production of this fruit. the present study was conducted to investigate the changes of leaf antioxidant-enzyme activity, proline and total protein content in two fig cultivars with two leaf shapes: ‘anjir sabz’ with lobate and palmate leaves, and ‘...

performance, digestibility of nutrients, microbial nitrogen flow (mnf) and nitrogen efficiency (ne) inearly lactating holstein cows were investigated by diet supplementation with sodium caseinate (cn).multiparous lactating holstein cows (n = 15) with an average body weight of 638 kg and 21 days in milkwere assigned to a completely randomized design (five cows per treatment) and fed a basal diet...

n-sodium acrylate-o-carboxymethyl chitosan [cmch-g-paa(na)] bound fe3o4 nanoparticles were developed as a novel magnetic nanoparticles with an ionic structure that can be potentially used in many fields. cmch-g-paa (na) was obtained by grafting of sodium polyacrylate on o-carboxymethyl chitosan, which is an amphiphilic polyelectrolyte with the biocompatibility and biodegradability properties. a...

background: omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (pufa) have beneficial effects on both specific and non-specific inflammatory reactions. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of dietary supplementation with fish oil in migraine prevention. methods: a 12-week, randomized, single-blind clinical trial was conducted from october 2008 to june 2009. a total of 67 patients (52 women, 15 men...
